Quinton Beckham Named Executive Director of Tennessee Donor Services

2/17/2011

NASHVILLE, TN -- The Dialysis Clinic Inc. Donor Services (DCIDS) Board of Directors officially appointed Quinton Beckham as Executive Director of Tennessee Donor Services (TDS)* on January 26, 2011.  

Mr. Beckham brings more than 11 years experience in Organ Donation and Transplantation.  Beckham joined DCI Donor Services, Inc. in 2009 as Director of Operations for New Mexico Donor Services (NMDS).  Prior to joining NMDS, he served as Quality Improvement Coordinator at the University of Virginia Transplant Programs in Charlottesville, and as an Advanced Coordinator with OneLegacy in Los Angeles.  

“I look forward to working with this mission-driven organization,” says Beckham.  “All of DCIDS’ roots go back to helping people in need.  We started by providing dialysis to patients, and sought financial contributions for those who couldn’t pay.  Today we are one of the few full spectrum organizations in the nation – providing dialysis, organ and tissue recovery, as well as processing and distribution.  This allows us to serve our communities with strength, and I will work to build further on those capabilities to save even more lives.”

*Tennessee Donor Services (TDS) is a non-profit, federally regulated service organization providing for the recovery and allocation of organs and tissue.  TDS provides services to 84 counties in Tennessee and eight counties in southwest Virginia.  Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, TDS operates four offices:  Mountain Region Donor Services (MRDS) in Tri-Cities, Chattanooga (TDS-C), Knoxville (TDS-K) and Nashville (TDS-N).
